Why You Need to Take This Course
In recent years, our understanding of the dynamic, moving body has undergone a revolution, changing the way we understand movement and yoga practice. For the most part, however, yoga anatomy education has not kept up with this shift, leaving a significant gap in the industry. This Yoga Anatomy Course fills that gap.
Today’s understanding of yoga postures and movement is based on fascia– the soft tissue structure that connects the entire body from head to toe. This fascia-based model has superseded the ‘old’ model, which was based on just muscles, bones and levers.
The fascia-based model makes it much easier to recognize and appreciate the engagements necessary for movement and to understand the effects of movement in one part of the body on other parts of the body. This integrated fascia-based perspective of movement is critical for performance, efficiency, sustainability and injury prevention.
However, while most people have heard of fascia, few of the available sources grasp its application to movement and, instead, impart an overly simplified, and sometimes incorrect, understanding of fascia and movement.
This Yoga Anatomy Course is based on over 20 years of studying, investigating, teaching and working with movement practitioners and its contents have been used and tested on over one hundred yoga and Pilates teacher trainings all over the world. Chris also specializes in fascia and movement injuries and has clinically treated thousands of clients with injuries and chronic postural problems by applying his fascia-based understanding of yoga and movement.
